OpTic Texas star Scump announces CoD retirement: \u201cThanks for everything\u201d Call of Duty LeagueCall of Duty legend Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner has officially retired and stepped down from OpTic Texas\u2019 starting lineup prior to CDL Major 2. It has been known since the Vanguard offseason that Scump would retire after the Modern Warfare 2 season wrapped up, but in a shock move, he has decided to hang up the controller early. Abner announced the decision via a video of his private retirement party where he announced that Brandon \u2018Dashy\u2019 Otell will be returning to the starting lineup. \u201cI hope people are happy with the new roster at the very least, I think you guys are going to be absolutely disgusting,\u201d he said in an emotional state. \u201cAfter seeing [Shottzy] and [Huke] as a sub duo it was kind of an easy decision. I\u2019m not fast like that anymore.\u201d He went on to explain that the early decision was a result of \u201coverestimating\u201d his energy and simply not having the energy to keep up with the workload required to be a pro. Scump also announced that he\u2019ll be staying around the scene and will use the newfound free time to engage more with supporters than he could before. \u201cFor the supporters that may be mad or upset at me and my decision, I\u2019m sorry. I promise I\u2019ll make it up,\u201d he assured them. \u201cI\u2019ll be attending events still and meeting people, which I couldn\u2019t really do as a player.\u201d The organization acknowledged Scump\u2019s farewell and verified the big change. Their lineup going forward will be Huke, Shottzy, Dashy, and iLLeY and the squad returns to competition with the new version of their roster on January 20 against Seattle Surge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
